All About Me

A few years ago I found myself unexpectedly without any ducks to line up. My job was gone, and a new journey seemed in order. I'm just entering (having finished the schooling) a new career as a nurse, and I’m dreaming about the new journeys that will open to me. A pierced nose, wearing scarves often and still dreaming of traveling the world, writing in European coffee shops, praying in South American ruins, and living somewhere warm enough to wear skirts with flip flops or really cute shoes year round remain high on my list of priorities! These days that warm place I'm dreaming about is Florida... maybe someday I'll escape my cold Canadian home for warmer climes!

I'm wearing at least two layers of clothing over my entire body. Three and four layers in some cases.

The walk this morning was brutal. You know it's cold when the idea that it will warm up to -22C today makes me cheerful. It means the walk home will be slightly less painful. Or at least that's the hope.

I'm having a Monday.

I have my hair down today, which is fine, except that I wore a toque and a face wrap to get here without dying of cold this morning. Which would both also be fine, if I'd remembered to throw a hairbrush into my purse. As it is, I'll just have to live with somewhat unruly hair today.

I also forgot to bring business appropriate shoes. Ah well, tromping around the office in my boots won't hurt anything, and at least my feet are fairly warm. It's not like I have any business meetings today that I need to be really professionally dressed for.

And with that, there are a myriad of little things waiting for my attention. More thoughts to come later.
